Examples of fundable projects include diversionary and educational activities for young people, workshops, intergenerational projects, support for meeting places (community centres, village halls, playing fields), energy efficiency schemes such as ground source energy schemes, rain harvesting, including top up grants. Projects for older people may include help to tackle isolation, loneliness and dementia, volunteer costs, sitter and companionship. Grants of up to £5,000 are available to volunteer led not for profit community groups. The Trust will award grants to projects that benefit local people living within a ten mile radius of the wind farm site at Tydd St Mary ( priority will be given to those within a five mile radius).
Local Trust have invited the Foundation to work with the local partnership to distribute significant funding for the benefit of residents across Birchwood. We would encourage potential applicants to contact us to discuss a project before applying so we can guide you through the process.
